Onlens.

Most people snecZe in the course of their
lifetime, and even in this country there are
many communities among whom bystanders,
upon such an occasion, will eXclaim, "God
bless you'll" This is designed to avert the
evil omen. The superstition was brought
here from England and from most of the
northern nations OF Europe.
Many of our readers will recall what Long
fellow wrote of the custom of Sweden, you
sneeze, and the peasants cry, God bless
you J"
A writer at the beginning of this century,
remarking upon the customs of Italy, says
that when you sneeze, "even in the theatres,
men rise and wish you 'FeItcata'!' The pur-
port OF this is the same as the hearty Swedish
and English "God bless you p
The origin of this custom in the different
countries of Europe was the same, just as its
meaning is the same. 1t has been traced to
those visitatiOns of fearful pestilence known
as the Black Death. One will read of it in
England in the time of Edward III. In 1850
this plague swept over Sweden and Denmark
It's ravages in those countries were so great
that the disease gained the name of the tiger
death.
The earliest symptoms of an attack by 80
dread a pest was u snecze. Thereupon the
plying bystanders, with sorrowing glance
would turn TO the newly marked victim, and
excaim, MAY God be with your
If this account Of the custom be correct, it
will be seen in what good reason the usage
originated, and with what want of all reason
it continued in times when sneczc, at the
worst, indicates but tritling cold. Never
theless, it is n pleasant little custom, which
does harm to nobody, and we have not so
many acts of formal courtesy that it is neces-
sary to dispense with any of them.

EsQuimau Dogs.

Referring to Esquimau dog teams, Mr.J.
FL. Hubbard said 10 a Montreal Gazette re-
porter There are usually four, but very
often six or eight in a team. The best dog is
cross between a wolfand collie slut. They
are not savage, but on the contrary, are very
devoted to the man who feeds them. They
are very peculiar in this respect. A man
may drive team for five years and feed them
every night, but if he sells them the buyer
feeds them and thereupon he becomes their
boss. They give implicit obedience 10 the
man who feeds them last. Good dogs are
worth from $25 TO $50. They used to be en-
ployed in drawing fish from Lake Winnipeg
into the town and are often used yet by the
Indians who come in on treaty days for their
pay. When the Indians have their sun dance
they kill and eat the Oldest and most useless
of the dogs, for it would never do TO have
dance without a meal ofroast dog afterwards.
The Stonies never do this, but the Crees, the
Sioux, and some other tribes do"

A Woman Was There.

We all know the story of the Turkish Cadi
who held that there was always woman at
tue bottom of every trouble. On one occa-
sion there appeared before him one of his of
ficers, who stated that certain man had fall

Where is the woman ?" asked the Cadi

responded the officer.

Then an explanation followed, when it
turned out that the man was leaning out OF
his window to look at woman, few doors
of, when he lost his balance and fell to the
ground.

God bless you, Toni You don't know
how like music the old voice sounds. VIII
you take your old place againp
wait till Monday morning, sir. If you
will offer it to me then, will take it,"
AT the little cottage, Ellen Darcy's fiutter-
ing heart was sinking. That morning, after
Tom had gone, she found dollar bill in the
coffee cup. She knew that he left it for her.
She had been out and bought tea and sugar,
and flour and butter, and bit of tender
steak; and all day long ray of light had
been dancing and glimmering before her.
ray from the blessed light of other days.
With prayer and hope she had set out the
tea-ta6le, and waited but the sun went down
and no Tom came. Eight o'clock-and al
most nine.
Hank the old step! quick, strong, eager
for home. Yes it was Tom, with tho old
crime upon his hands and the odor Of oil
upon his garments.
81 have kept you waiting, Nellie"
"Tomp

on"

sob, Toni
And she threw her arms around his neck,
and pressed kiss upon his lips.
"Nellie, darling, wait little, and you shall
have the old Tom back again"
"Oh / have him now! God bless you, my
husband"
1t was banquet, that supper-with the
bright angels of peace, and love, and joy,
spreading their wings over the board.
On the following Monday morning, Tom
resumed his place at the head of the great
machine shop, and those who thoroughly
knew him had no fear of his going back into
the slough of joylessness
A few days later, Tom met Peter Tindar
on the street.
"Eh, Tom, old boy, what's up?"
81 am up, right side up"
"Yes, see; but hope you haven't forsak-
en- us, Tom?"
81 have forsaken only the evil you have in
store, Peter The fact is, concluded that
my wife and little ones had fed on husks long
enough, and if there was good kernel left in
my heart, or in my manhood, they should
have it,"
"Ah, you heard what said TO my wife that
night"
ayes, Peter and shall be grateful to you
for it as long as live. My remembrance of
you will always be relieved by that tinge of
warmth and brightness"

Home COurtesies.

81 am one of those whose lot in life has
been to go out into an unfriendly world at an
early age and of nearly twenty families in
which made my home in the course of
about nine years, there were only three that
could be designated as happy families and
the cause of trouble was not SO much the lack
of love as the lack of care to manifest it,
The closing words of this sentence give the
fruitful source of family alterations, of heart
aches innumerable, of sad faces and gloomy
home circles. "Not so much the lack OF love
as the lack Of care to manifest it," Not more
than three happy families in twenty and the
cause SO easily remedied In the "small cour-
tesies of life" what power resides In look,
word, a tone, how much of happiness or
disquietude may be communicated Let us
all think of it, and take the lesson home to
our own lives.

A New Version.

In his famous speech at the New England
dinner, Editor Grady told an old story, the
flavor of which improves, if anything, with
its age. 1t was as follows: There was an
old preacher once who told some boys of the
Bible lesson he was going to read in the
morning. The boys, finding the place, glued
together the connecting pages. The next
morning he read on the bottom of one page:
when Noah was 100 years old he took unto
himself q wife, who was'-then turning the
pnge-"14O cubits long, 40 cubits wide, built
Of gopher wood and covered with pitch in
side and out" He was naturally puzzled at
this He read it again, verified it, and then
said: "NIy friends, this is the first tmeI
ever met this in the Bible, but accept it as
nm evidence of the assertion that we are fear
fully and wonderfully made.'"

now and look at the moon and the stars and
blue night skies, with their fleecy clouds, as
we used to do then ?"
"We can, Maria, If we want to-"
"Then, John, let us go out to the front gate
for awhile and see if it will seem anything
like it used to-"
"Al right, Maria You go out and try it
a while, and if you like it maybe I'll take
turn at it,"
But Maria thought him too much of
brute to do any thing of the kind.

Sound Common Sense.

Ifyou are well, let yourself alone One
of the great errors of the age is, we medicate
the body too much. More persons are de-
stroyed by eating too much than by drinking
too much. Gluttony kills more than drunk
enness in civilized society. The best gymna-
stun is woodward, a clearing or cornfield.
A hearty laugh is known the world over, to
be health promoter; it elevates the spirits
enlivens the circulation, and is marveiously
contagious in good sense. Bodily activity
and bodily strength are inseparable. If the
bowels are loose, lie down in bed, remain
there, and eat nothing until you are well. The
three best medicines in the world are warmth,
abstinence and repose.

MARCH.

AhSh.
Right pleasant are these early days
OF thine, impetuous March!
Thy winds are on their wandering ways,
But all the azure arch
Is glad with .,sht,
And pearl and white.
And changing tint, and changing form,
In every Cloud that only seems
To revel IN world of dreams
And feel no fear Of storr1is--
Thy childlike, reckless frolic sweeps
The leaves of autumn gone;
From bough to bough then gaily leaps
To bid new buds come on.
With toss and shake
The trees shall wake,
Their life-blood rise from deepest root,
Till over all shall emerald green,
A lovely, living robe be seen,
And frequent flower and fruit.
Thou hast March, too. life O. mine,
A March that fingers long,
And resolute the purpose thine
That trouble make me strong!
Strike on, bearl
'Tis only air!
And love directs the widest blast;
And pleasant days for even me,
Come now and then. and / shall see
The flower and fruit at last!

A Word to the Boys.

Farmer boys, You need not envy tue young
men who stand behind Tie counters OF the
CT shops You need not envy the young
men who arc making ready to take the places
OF the great army of lawyers and pettifoggers
who are subsis,ing by the litigations of quar-
relsome and contentious clients. And GER
tainly you ought not to envy the boys who
have no employment at all; those who are
growing up to manhood without acquiring
industrious habits upon which to rely in
times of great need and pressing emergen-
cies, whose idleness invites to temptations
which so often lure to mental and bodilyruin.
Your clothes may n.r We so finely spun and
made as the raiment OF the city boys, but you
are the peers of them all, with your bronZed
faces and horny hands, however pretenlious
their empoyments Your business is one
which ante-dates every vocation in the
world. The farmer was blowing and reap
ing his harvesis long before the merchant,
lawyer, or doctor was known; ind he still
stands foremost at the gates whence issue to
the millions of the world the steady, never
failing streams of Righteousness and life. A
generation or go ago the brightest boys of
the farmers family were assigned to the pro-
fessiuns. The dull fellows were sent to the
fields Nowadays different order of things
prevails. Once the idea was popular that
only muscular strength was necessary on
farm-the strength to guide pillow, to WELD
an axe, a hoe or \ scythe-the endurance to
go through with the sweltering tasks of
summer, or the exposing duties of winter
These important requisites given, u BOBBY
might fill the place just as well as any one
else. 50 some folks used to think, but what
say you, working farmer boys? Do you not
place higher estimate upon your skill, and
upon the value of your services? Look up
then and vindicate yourselves. You are get
ting health and strength from the wholesome
exercises of the fields, and that you may have
the necessary intelligence to combine with
this strength for the proper prosecution of
your calling, apply yourselves diligently to
acquiring knowledge whenever respite from
labor shall give you the opportunity.
